Trivia

It's illogical for the other variants of Anaconda which has more ammo than the original variant but still uses a 6-shot cylinder, notably this can be seen in first person when reloading. This is because their texture (including the cylinder) is a re-skin of the original 6-shot Anaconda variant.

In CrossFire Vietnam, the Anaconda's firing sound is different than the other versions.

It's probably the earlier version of this weapon's firing sound.

Also in CF Vietnam, the drawing and reloading sounds doesn't sync with the animation, unlike other versions.

In reality, the Desert Eagle can be reloaded faster than the Anaconda, due to it using magazines. And the Desert Eagle should be more powerful due to its .50AE cartridges, while the Anaconda uses weaker .44 Magnum rounds. However, this could be for balancing.

The Colt Anaconda is basically an enlarged version of the Colt Python. The Anaconda's larger size is needed for its bigger .44 Magnum cartridges, over the Python's smaller .357 Magnum.
